Question

I have a datetime field in mysql.

I need to select between these two date ranges in this format YYYY-MM-DD HH

“2012-12-20 10” and “2012-12-23 15”

How can I do this in mysql where utcdt is my datetime field?

SELECT DISTINCT utcdt
FROM rtb
WHERE 
utcdt>=UNIX_TIMESTAMP("2012-12-20 10") and utcdt<=UNIX_TIMESTAMP("2012-12-23 15")

Answer 1

Use BETWEEN and STR_TO_DATE as below:

 SELECT DISTINCT utcdt
 FROM rtb
 WHERE 
 utcdt BETWEEN STR_TO_DATE('2012-12-20 10', '%Y-%m-%d %h') 
       and STR_TO_DATE('2012-12-23 15', '%Y-%m-%d %h')
